What do you think?

Name if it's a girl would be Erin Sheila D...

Sheila after my mum who died recently.

Gah - DF has said he doesn't like it. It is, according to him, a bit unusual(WTF????). He perfers Roan(which isn't unusual at all [HMM]), which i like, but not as much as Erin. Methinks i will have to work on him....

Love Erin, it's what dc1 would have been if had been a girl. Now pg again but can't have an Erin and an Evin unfortunately! I actually like Roan too (poss spelt Rowan). Both lovely names

Isnt Roan actually either Rowan or Rohan?Roan is the colour of a horse and is pronounced rohn[I think]
I like Rowan for a boy or Erin for a girl though I think Rowan could be unisex

My 18 yo stepdaughter is Erin and I know a girl called Rowan.

Bloody Men!!

The real reason he's vetoed Erin is because it reminds him of Erin Brockovitch, the film with Julia Roberts and he's always had a thing for her And apparently it'd feel weird calling a child after an object of lust..

I'm not quite sure what to say to that!!!
